What to Know

Critics Consensus

The big showdown against Brick offers a highlight of this episode -- and Arrow is such a flashback-heavy show that it's always a welcome change of place when they're about someone other than Oliver.

Chancellor Agard Entertainment Weekly 08/07/2018
"Uprising" was the perfect conclusion to Arrow's The Dark Knight Rises-esque midseason trilogy, which sidelined Oliver Queen in order to allow the rest of the supporting cast to shine and get on the same level. Go to Full Review Alasdair Wilkins AV Club 08/02/2018

Given how crazy a journey the flashback Malcolm has to go on in just a few short scenes... it's to the episode's great credit that the moment of transformation feels as plausible as it does. Go to Full Review Jenny Raftery New York Magazine/Vulture 08/02/2018

The Arrow writers this week... are counting on viewers not caring about things like "time" or "believability," which, I guess, is a time-honored comics tradition, too. Go to Full Review Constance Gibbs The Nerds of Color 04/07/2020
The end of this week's Arrow gutted me more than the literally torso-piercing mid-season finale did. As I write this I am still in shock and can't really move Go to Full Review Kyle Anderson Nerdist 08/08/2018

7.1/10
Luckily, things picked up as the battle commenced, and the aftermath set in motion a number of intriguing plot threads. There's no reason the show can't quickly regain some of its lost momentum. Go to Full Review Read all reviews
